Create:SoftMotion
by WarDreg
SoftMotion, an accessibility addon for Create, slows the visual rotation of machinery and contraptions on the client without changing how the machines actually run.
What it does
The visual rotation multiplier is set in a client-side configuration screen opened from the mod list, with fine-tuning values between the lowest and highest settings. Shafts, cogwheels and other rotating components rendered through Flywheel turn more slowly on screen, and Mechanical Bearings can be set to slow assembled contraptions separately. The addon is written for players who are sensitive to fast visual motion or who prefer calmer machinery animations.
Only the client needs the mod, and a dedicated server does not need it installed. Because the changes are visual, Create mechanics stay the same: RPM, stress calculations in kinetic networks and machine processing speed all continue at normal values, so the addon gives no gameplay advantage. The mod requires Create and is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 under the MIT License; it is not open source.
Key features
Slower shaft and cogwheel visuals
Shafts, cogwheels and other rotating parts rendered through Flywheel appear to turn at a reduced speed on screen.
Bearing contraption slowdown
Assembled contraptions attached to Mechanical Bearings can be slowed visually, and this option is toggled apart from the rest.
Adjustable visual multiplier
A multiplier set in the client settings controls how far the on-screen rotation is reduced, from none to a strong slowdown.
Mechanics left unchanged
Actual RPM, stress and processing speed are untouched, so machines run at normal speed while only their appearance changes.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who find fast rotating Create machinery uncomfortable to watch, and anyone who prefers slower, less distracting machine animations. Servers do not need it.
How it compares
Precise Physics Staff is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the Client and server environment, so it must be installed on both sides, and it is open source under the MIT License. Disable Accessibility Screen runs client-side only and is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.19.4 – 26.2, under the MIT License and open source. SoftMotion is client-side only and targets NeoForge 1.21.1 alone.
